[Emily, Ghosts:]
|
I could beg a thousand times
|
I could explain, I could use rhymes
|
And rhythms meant to catch your eye
|
But I know you won't see
|
I could cry a thousand tears
|
I could appease your secret fears
|
But the louder that I scream
|
The harder your machines close over me
|
|
But I don't care
|
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
|
You could take my life with conscience clear
|
But you should still hear that
|
|
If I burn, you will see
|
The fire in your mind when you sleep
|
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
|
You'll know it's me
|
And the rain won't wash away
|
The ashes underneath your nails today
|
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
|
'Cause if I burn, so will you
|
|
I could bargain but I'd lose
|
You'll sell the parts that you don't use
|
Yes, I could beg you to be merciful and set me free
|
I could threaten you with Hell
|
Or I could promise not to tell
|
But the softer I became
|
The harder your machines close over me
|
|
But I don't care
|
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
|
You could take my life with conscience clear
|
But you should hear that
|
|
If I burn, you will see
|
The fire in your mind when you sleep
|
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
|
You'll know it's me
|
And the rain won't wash away
|
The ashes underneath your nails today
|
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
|
'Cause if I burn, so will you
|
|
When you sleep you'll feel my icy fingers
|
Crawling down your back
|
And when you wake you'll find me right beside you
|
Waiting to attack
|
And when you walk I will be right behind you
|
Quickening my steps
|
And when you try to shut me out
|
I will be laughing in your head
|
|
Oh, I'll be there
|
Maybe I'm afraid, but still I swear
|
You could take my life with conscience clear
|
But you should still hear that
|
|
If I burn, you will see
|
The fire in your mind when you sleep
|
And if I rise up in smoke around your eyes
|
You'll know it's me
|
And the rain won't wash away
|
The ashes underneath your nails today
|
Doesn't matter where you go or what you do
|
'Cause if I burn, so will you
|
|
There are two sides to every story... except for this one!
|
|
It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over
|
You can break me
|
Death can take me
|
But it's never over
|
It's not over 'til it's over, and it's never over
|
You can break me
|
Death can take me
|
But it's never over
|
